    I had some business in Waldo this weekend and decided that I hadn't been to Randy's in a while, so…read moreI should head up a bit early and grab some lunch there since I had a chance. I have been here before, but not since the shutdown hit. Business hours have changed to just the weekends, and the menu this time around was limited to almost all seafood. No ribs in sight, which is kind of sad. They were only doing outdoor seating as well, but sitting outside was quite pleasant. I ordered a grouper platter with fries and baked beans, and it came out in short order. The fish was good... I enjoyed it quite a lot. It didn't need tartar sauce or anything. The fries were also good, and held up throughout the meal. The beans are more what I would call cowboy beans rather than barbecue beans, but they were still good. I do hope that things pick up for this place and they return to the larger menu.

    Please be advised that Randy's Rib Shack is not just a cute name to attach to a restaurant to…read moreconjure a rustic name. No, the word "shack" in the business name of Randy's Rib Shack is also a pretty accurate description of the exterior of this business. This should not be taken as a negative though. It is a fair description and the food offered here compliments such humble surroundings. The food here is pure Americana and done pretty good. Of course, as with most restaurants, some of the menu items are done better than others. The ribs here are good (they better be, since they are literally in the name of the business). Don't get me wrong, I have had better food, but the dining options around here seemed a bit limited and this place was a good choice.

And a breakfast to die for. The country fried steak among the top 10 I've ever had. Eggs and bacon cooked perfectly, biscuits and gravy, and grits just fine. Plus a super reasonable price, so what a deal. The kind of eatery you wish you had in your neighborhood.

    You know, I think this place has been in Waldo across the way from the giant horse for a very long…read moretime, but I never really acknowledged that it even existed until just a little while ago. So I figured I would give it a try. Pulling up, it is very non-descript. Looks kind of run-down, almost like it isn't open except for the neon sign saying that it is. Walking inside, you are presented with a small room to the left with a couple of booths and a couple of tables to the right, along with a counter with stools in front. I figured the counter was the place to be at a diner like this, so that is where I sat. The staff eventually got to me with a menu, and took my drink order. For my lunch, I went with the burger and an order of fries. They took a while to get out, made fresh (I assume) in the kitchen. I will say that the price is appropriate for the food, and the food is fair. Nothing really outstanding, but not bad either. What really stood out to me however was the general attitude of the staff. It was just... sad. They just didn't want to be there, resented working there in the first place, and had no qualms about showing that in their demeanor to everyone visiting the restaurant. Sadly, what this does is bring down the atmosphere of the place, which means that the guests don't really want to be there either, continuing the downward spiral. Frankly, despite there being so few places to eat in the Waldo area, I will most likely not be returning. I would rather drive up to Starke or down to Gainesville than eat here again.

Anytime I'm near Jacksonville. I automatically go there. It is always very busy, if you want to take our call ahead and almost impossible to park, but worth it. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Right away the place had a great vibe, busy but still comfortable, and you could tell they take their food seriously. Marcus took care of us and his service really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without us having to ask. It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ.
